Blenheim and Marlborough hotels for conferences and residential meetings, ranked by room count.
Marlborough pairs a working wine region with a compact town that handles residential meetings well: fly into Blenheim, base delegates in a hotel with rooms and meeting space under one roof, and build wine-country experiences around the programme. For a residential conference, the practical first filter is room count — how many delegates a single property can actually house.
